I'm happy to report I've found the perfect recipe, used the finest ingredients and my kids can't get enough of it! I make this mac n' cheese at home, regularly, and now you can too!

Cook pasta according to package directions while making the sauce. Drain and set aside until ready to use.

In a large pot on medium high heat, add butter until melted. Whisk in the flour and cook for about one minute. Reduce heat to medium and add milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Continue whisking until it begins to bubble. Reduce to low and add white cheddar. Stir until melted. Add cooked pasta, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and allow to sit about 5 minutes to thicken. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Now take a bite...you've NAILED IT!! You're going to love this recipe...

These donuts truly have a taste of fall in each and every bite. The cinnamon and pumpkin sweetened batter make this baked delight something we look forward to every fall season!I used a large, donut pan that you can find below on Amazon image (affiliate link). They are inexpensive, and worth it! Make sure to get a couple of them so you can make one dozen donuts at one time.

I used organic canned pumpkin, pure cane sugar (unprocessed and non GMO) and Bob's Mill, organic unbleached flour. I get my sugar at Walmart. Walmart has the lowest price around that cannot be beat!!! You can find it HERE. Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. PRINT RECIPE HEREIngredients:1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used light olive oil)3 large eggs1 1/2 cups granulated sugar1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice or or 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus a heaping 1/4 teaspoon each ground nutmeg and ground ginger1 1/2 tsp. salt1 1/2 baking powder1 3/4 cups all-purpose flourMix all the ingredients to combine in a large mixer. Add the flour and mix until smooth.Grease your donut pans with a cooking spray (muffin tins work, too, if you don't have donut pans!) and fill 3/4 to the top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.Let cool for about 5 minutes and invert onto a cooling rack to cool a couple more minutes. While still warm, put donut one at a time into a large ziplock bag filled with cinnamon and sugar (a good ratio is 1/4 sugar and 1 tbsp. cinnamon. So in a bag I did 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 tbsp. cinnamon). Cover donut completely and set back onto cooling rack and continue with each donut. Yum you guys!
